"Gondwanaland" lyrics

These hands of mine were wedged
Between the lime and granite
This throat and spine were nestled
On the faults of Asia

Drills split through sheets above
A pulsing light appeared
A ray of Sun? We have seen none
Not since Gondwanaland

Beside my temple lies
A Lystrosaurus pelvic bone
I wonder what the quarry-
Master could be after

It's been two hundred fifty
Million human years since we
Were last in open ocean
Sifting round Gondwanaland

Dremels' tremors burst the bubble
Of a dream escaping
We'd floated free and kissed
The smouldering shored Gondwanaland

I tried to sleep again
And rain filled up the canyon cut
By worried men
